Delhi Capitals Edge Rajasthan Royals in Thrilling Super Over Victory

Delhi Capitals triumphed over Rajasthan Royals in a dramatic IPL match that ended in a Super Over, reclaiming the top spot on the points table. After both teams tied at 202 runs, Mitchell Starc's disciplined death bowling and Tristan Stubbs' composed performance under pressure were pivotal, with Stubbs smashing a decisive six in the Super Over to seal the win. Abhishek Porel and Axar Patel contributed significant late-innings runs for Delhi, while Jofra Archer led Rajasthan’s bowling attack. Rajasthan started their chase strongly but faltered after losing captain Sanju Samson to injury, with Nitish Rana and Yashasvi Jaiswal providing resistance. The Royals managed 11 runs in their Super Over, but Delhi chased 12 runs with ease, thanks to the calm partnership of KL Rahul and Stubbs. The victory marked the IPL’s first Super Over since 2021, leaving Rajasthan at eighth place after their third straight loss.
